1980 - I can't wrap my mind around the fact that a part of the disco era still co-exists in the same decade as the house and hip hop era of the late 80s where they formed in many cases a throwback to said disco era. Let alone that it was pre-MTV, pre-AIDS crisis and with so much 70s things going on. You're thinking of post-disco. Classic disco had died almost overnight in the summer of 1979 with the disco demolition night. Post-disco is a just a period term, it does not refer to a particular sound (though most of the time it is used for the mid-80s club scene that grew out of disco). The disco that was popular in 1980 was pretty much the exact same as it was in 1978.

Not necessarily, post-disco places a greater emphasis on synthesizers and sequencers, which also served as a stepping stone to new wave, old-school hip hop, euro disco, and was succeeded by an underground club music called hi-NRG, which was its direct continuation. I've tried to argue this several times before with many different people, but World War II really began in July 1937. That was when the Japanese launched their full-scale invasion of mainland China (a country that, despite their enormous losses, sadly never gets any recognition for their role in WWII) which began a theater of war that lasted for the next 8 years until Japan's surrender in August 1945. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Sino-Japanese_War

The use of synthesizers in disco started way back in the mid-70s, in fact one of the biggest disco hits of 1977 was an all-synthesizer song: I don't think it makes much sense to call this post-disco. As a term it really is meant to all the disco styles that sprung when disco went off the pop charts and right back to the club scene only. While wars are always sad and shouldn't be erased from history. The Invasion of Poland is really the event that kickstarted a series of disastrous events that snowball into that World War.

"I Feel Love" was seen more as an anomaly at the time, a large majority of all the disco songs that topped the charts for the next two years continued to use the same formula of using traditional instruments. You mentioned in your last post that the disco sound of 1978 and 1980 sounded the same, but would you still say the same after listening to these disco songs? 1978
1980
Go on?

It wasn't exactly an outlier, but more of a harbinger of change for the pop charts. By 1978, more and more disco songs were incorporating synths, especially the European exports. Here are a bunch of said songs: On the other hand, here are pretty classic disco songs from 1980, despite on the decline it was still decently popular enough (ignoring the Diana Ross and Kool & the Gang obvious examples):
